Show Thoughts & Shots // Arkells w/ Lights @ The Scotiabank Centre – 30.09.22

October 2, 2022 Trev

The Scotiabank Centre is a venue that holds a significant amount of personal reverence. it’s a room that I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the years, sitting alongside my dad watching The Voyageurs, The Oilers, and The Citadels, then in later years I was bitten by the concert bug after my mom took… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // Fresh New Ear Worms

March 5, 2022 Trev

While 2022 has kept pace with 2020 and 2021 in the sense that this has been another dumpster fire of a year, at least live music is finally on the verge of a comeback, and bands are starting to drop new tracks at an alarming rate. There have been some great tunes dropped from seasoned… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Funk

April 14, 2021 Trev

When the Pandemic began back in 2020, we all thought it would be nipped in the bud and we could carry on with our lives as if we weren't undergoing some sort of paradigm shift.

Midweek Mixdown // The Morning After Edition….

November 4, 2020 Trev

Welcome back to the latest installment of the Midweek Mixdown, and here's hoping that we have hit rock bottom of 2020, and now hopefully can begin the rebound with a more balanced Captain leading the ship that is the US of A.

Album Review // Campfire Chords – Arkells

August 20, 2020 Trev

2020 has been quite the year, as we somehow found ourselves mired in the darkest of timelines. A leveling of society that is unlike anything we've seen before.

It's hard to believe where the time goes, eh? We're already up against the dreaded time change, where we lose that fabled hour of sleep, but isn't it really worth it to gain an extra hour of daylight per day? It's going to be alright, we'll get through it together. It's been a bit since… Read More

November 1, 2019 Trev

Last weekend saw two thirds of the HAFILAX team venue hopping for a few days, catching as many shows as humanly possible.

Trev’s Best Albums of 2018

January 1, 2019 Trev

It's hard to believe that we've just wrapped another trek around the sun. 2018 has come and gone, and for the most part, I think we can collectively agree that we're better off having that year in our rear view. There was some great music, some good music and some music that is certainly fit… Read More
